# post edit add media missing

 * installed and reinstalled. deleted all files and database and installed a couple
   of times now. Tried the 2.7 rc1 and two different 2.6.* versions.
 * When editing a post the add media buttons are missing, if I select the area where
   they shall exist I can find the code:
    <div id=”editor-toolbar”> <div class=”
   zerosize”><input accesskey=”e” onclick=”switchEditors.go(‘content’)” type=”button”
   ></div> HTML Visual <div id=”media-buttons” class=”hide-if-no-js”> Upload/Insert
   [<img src=”images/media-button-image.gif” alt=”Add an Image”>](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-edit-add-media-missing/media-upload.php?post_id=188&type=image&TB_iframe=true)
 *  [<img src=”images/media-button-video.gif” alt=”Add Video”>](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-edit-add-media-missing/media-upload.php?post_id=188&type=video&TB_iframe=true)
   
   [<img src=”images/media-button-music.gif” alt=”Add Audio”>](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-edit-add-media-missing/media-upload.php?post_id=188&type=audio&TB_iframe=true)
   [<img src=”images/media-button-other.gif” alt=”Add Media”>](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-edit-add-media-missing/media-upload.php?post_id=188&TB_iframe=true)
   </div> </div>
 * Så they are there but not visible somehow. The HTML button (visual or html) isn’t
   clickable either.
 * I’ve also inactivated all plugins, I have checked the wp-content/upload/*chache*
   folder e.g.
 * Really need some help here, search but can’t find a solution.

 * We updated to 2.8.4 in a self hosted situation & the media-buttons div did not
   show.
 * Looking at an old post as a guide found this to work:
 * in the file: wp-admin/css/global.css
 * find this:
 *  `.hidden,
    .closed .inside, .hide-if-no-js { display: none; }`
 * and replace with this:
 *  `.hidden,
    .closed .inside { display: none; } /*.hide-if-no-js { display: none;}*/`
 * Hope it works for u.
